Overview
Share up to 23 computers with mulitple users via standard
CATx cabling.
The DCX3000 system contains three components:
1. t he central switching unit (30-Port Digital KVM Matrix
Switch, DCX3000),
2. the receiver unit (DCX3000-DVR), and
3. server access modules (DVI: DCX3000-DVT, DisplayPort:
DCX3000-DPT).
The interface-powered Server Access Modules (SAMs)
extend DVI or DisplayPort signals and USB over standard
CATx cabling from individual servers to the central switch-
ing unit and the receivers connect end-user stations to the
central switching unit.
A
 DCX3000 SAM module links to each computer.
Two types of SAM modules are available: DVI-D and USB,
or DisplayPort and USB.
The peripherals (keyboard, display, etc.) connect to
DCX3000 remote modules.
Features
Designed for small- to medium-sized applications
uncompressed video signals.
Fast, reliable switching of digital KVM, HD video, audio,
and USB.
Small form factor, interface-powered Server Access
Modules (SAMs) extend DVI or DisplayPort signals and USB
over standard CATx cabling.
